Description
This case concerns claims for breach of contract and negligent performance of a contract. It presents, primarily, questions involving the proper measure of damages and the admissibility of certain evidence. Brookhollow, Inc. contracted with Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc. (TCB) for TCB to design and supervise the construction of a sewer line. Brookhollow contracted with Whitelak, Inc. for the actual construction of the line. The completed sewer leaked and Brookhollow refused to pay Whitelak for its work. Whitelak sued Brookhollow who in turn brought in TCB as a third-party defendant. Among other things, the trial courts judgment awarded Brookhollow money damages against TCB on its cross-claim for negligent performance of the engineering services. The court of appeals affirmed a part of the judgment, but reversed and remanded to the trial court the part concerning TCBs liability on Brookhollows cross-claim. 624 S.W.2d 203. We affirm the court of appeals reversal of the trial courts judgment against TCB on Brookhollows cross-claim for negligent performance; we reverse the remainder of the court of appeals judgment and remand the entire cause to the trial court for a new trial.
